Frederick One Take: Silent Old Mtns.

You know the drill. A little while ago, two fine young men, Kenny Eaton and Jordan Miller, approached us with an idea for a partnership: Bring bands into Kenny’s Mystery Ton Studios, ask them to record a song, sit them down for an interview, video everything, and release all of it to the masses. Manning the cameras, of course, would be Jordan, along with his Gypsy Cab crew, and we would call the thing “Frederick One Take.”

Now, you remember our debut episode, right? Then our second episode, no? And then, of course, our third go at it? Plus, don’t forget episode number 4, you know? Wait. How about episode number 5? First, we had Cheshi, and those people are fabulous people. Second, we had Mr. Husband, and those people are fabulous people. Third, we had DaMood, and those people are fabulous people. Fourth, we had Crooked Hills, and those people are fabulous people. And fifth, we had DoubleMotorcycle and those people … well, yeah.

Anyway, now? Now, it’s time for episode 6, which also doubles as our season one finale! Cue the high fives.

Silent Old Mtns. is a stalwart in the local music scene, having seemingly been around forever. They are one of the very few bands to receive a four-star review for one of their records from us and perhaps more importantly, lead singer Andrew Bromhal does a great Santa Claus impression, and in addition to this being our season finale, it’s also our very special Christmas episode. What does that mean? Well, it means that these fine lads performed their Christmas song for us, and that song is called “Christmas Apart.” In addition to that, they also offered up a brand new song, and that song is called “Submarines.” Plus, if you stick around for the interview (below), you’ll also get an a cappella version of a classic. It’s a lot, we know. But it’s also the season of giving. So give away, we do.
